Ethiopia/Tigray UPDATE

BFP Team

Africa, News, Peace Activism

On Friday, January 29, 2021, we posted a piece entitled Ethiopian Prime Ministry Abiy Ahmed, Declares Military Victory

In a dramatic and stunning reversal of military fortunes of the warring parties, the Tigray Defence Forces routed the powerful Ethiopian National Defence Forces, captured most of the cities and towns of Tigray before triumphantly entering Mekele the capital of Tigray Regional State at the end of last month.

Here are 3 references (NYT, Guardian, Addis Standard, HRW)) by way of update. The “in pictures” truly speaks volumes.

  • Resurgent Tigray and Horn of Africa Politics
  • Captured Ethiopian government soldiers reach Tigray capital – in pictures News: Fed. Gov’t accuses OCHA of misinformation; discuss conditions for humanitarian flights to Tigray
  • UN Rights Body Needs to Act on Ethiopia

Listen to Brooklyn For Peace’s board member Dr. Mohammed Nurhussein’s interview with Milton Allimadi publisher of Black Star News and host of WBAI show of the same name, Black Star News Radio Show – airs every Tuesday at 3 PM EST on WBAI.

WED 6/22, @ 7:00 PM: “Blockade the Bombmakers!” was the call that inspired more than 3,500 people – 1,700 of whom were arrested – from 34 states and 10 countries to come to New York City on June 14, 1982, in order to nonviolently shut down the UN missions of the world’s seven nuclear-armed countries. This webinar will feature organizers from War Resisters League telling a few stories of those arrested on that momentous day of action.Register for Zoom link: https://www.codepink.org/06222022

NOW: Israeli forces are ramping up their attack on #MasaferYatta, arresting Sami of @YouthOfSumud. Israeli forces want to discourage local support for the villages at risk of forced displacement by targeting the activists spending their days and nights protecting the space.
